Encouragement I never expected

When I say I'm going to do something, without a question I do it.

The way I work is black and white, but rainbows when I write.

I got an e-mail from someone I've never heard of. I'm not going to say names, but this is what it read:

"Hey I just found your blog and was wondering why you would quite such a unique and beautiful thing?"
"As for the blog, can I encourage you to continue the writing and blogging.
One thing I know for sure, God gave us talents, strengths, abilities, gifts and yours is easily seen through your words and the images you paint."
"If you think about it, many writers, comedians and other creative types express their life's happiness, pain, joy, sorrow, loss, gain and experiences through words. Songs (lyrics) are an expression that gains much respect in many circles. Poems, video, movies, gosh just about anything you can think could be an effective avenue for your talents."
"I suggest you think about it for a while and let your creativity flow into areas where your words and emotions can be expressed. The blog is a really good start. Ask those who know you best what they think and do some brainstorming. You might be surprised at what might happen. God has made you to be a vehicle for showing people the way to Him. Use what has put in your hands.
I'm a big picture thinker and see potential in you. Let me know if I can help further."


I want to say thank you. I cannot express words as sit here and for the first time hear from someone who believes I can do something. My mind was wilting from all this pain of this year, and couldn't think of any other words to express. I had no feelings, no emotions. I was falling apart.

This has happened for a reason. I've been talking to a new friend. I don't "know" her or her situation, but there is pain. I also have another friend who just wrote me this morning to pray for her daughter. She was taken to the hospital and needs serious prayers. I have friends around me in Divorce Care, that can't see the meaning of life. I know how it feels... so in return I wrote this poem I am going to post next.

Thank you so much me new dear friend. I hope one day I can meet you and give you a great big hug.

Love,
Julie
